Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano is dealing with an abdomen strain that resulted Wednesday in his first day off since June 18. Results of the MRI showed that he has a grade 1 strain, and the team hopes that he may be able to return to a DH-only role in five or six days, per 710-AM.

"He'll get a couple days off, maybe DH after that, and probably five or six days later he should be able to resume playing [second base]," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said after Wednesday afternoon's 8-2 loss to Arizona, per MLB.com.

Cano lost his eight-game hitting streak Tuesday, but still has 13 hits in his last 32 at-bats with three of the 11 home runs he has slugged this season.

"He was trying to make a play a couple of days ago and he felt it," McClendon said. "It's gotten a little worse."
